Key differences between the most popular methods, the NPV
(Net Present Value) Method and IRR (Internal Rate of Return)
Method, include:
• NPV is calculated in terms of currency while IRR is
expressed in terms of the percentage return a firm expects
the capital project to return;
• Academic evidence suggests that the NPV Method is
preferred over other methods since it calculates additional
wealth and the IRR Method does not;
• The IRR Method cannot be used to evaluate projects where
there are changing cash flows (e.g., an initial outflow
followed by in-flows and a later out-flow, such as may be
required in the case of land reclamation by a mining firm);
• However, the IRR Method does have one significant
advantage -- managers tend to better understand the concept
of returns stated in percentages and find it easy to compare
to the required cost of capital; and, finally,
• While both the NPV Method and the IRR Method are both DCF
models and can even reach similar conclusions about a single
project, the use of the IRR Method can lead to the belief
that a smaller project with a shorter life and earlier cash
inflows, is preferable to a larger project that will
generate more cash.
